This software is a new theme for the GNOME desktop that resembles the Mac interface. It provides an aesthetically pleasing experience for users who prefer the look and feel of a Mac computer.
If you're looking for an OSX-like GTK theme for your GNOME desktop, then GRACE is a great choice. This pack includes both the GTK and Emerald themes, but note that there is no Metacity theme available. However, the GTK theme has been designed with the Global-Menu app in mind, so if you're not using Global Menu, you may need to tweak a few things in the gtkrc file.
It's worth mentioning that this theme is based on the Murrine GTK engine and uses the latest revision of Murrine-SVN. If you're not familiar with installing this engine, you can find instructions on how to do so on their website.
For the top panel, the creator of this theme recommends KingCam's OS X Leopard panel, which can be found on their profile. Additionally, the bottom dock is Gnome-Do's Docky.
When it comes to installing the GRACE theme, you can do so by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting "Change Desktop Background". From there, click on the first tab labeled "Theme" and then drag and drop the theme's archive into the Appearance Preferences window. If everything goes smoothly, you'll receive a confirmation message and can activate the theme by simply clicking on it.
Lastly, it's worth giving some context on the GNOME desktop environment. GNOME is a global effort to create a complete desktop environment using entirely free software. This includes developing software frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs that manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management. GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, but most notably with Linux. The project puts a lot of emphasis on simplicity, usability, and making things work seamlessly for users.
